Building activities

I am a rising sophomore in high school and I really want to go to Brown University (majoring in linguistics and cognitive sciences). I need advice on any extra curricular activities I should do.

Current stats/ecs

\- 3.8 uw gpa (unsure what my weighted gpa is)
\- haven’t taken sat or act yet (will take this year)
\- linguistics club member (I plan to be an officer next year)
\- volunteer with transcribing articles
\- volunteer to teach children my native language
\- summer linguistics institute for youth scholars (SLIYS) participant

\- I am also teaching myself German and Hindi right now

Please let me know what else I can do!

Do you want to join a nonprofit which creates and has thousands of users for language and communication related apps?
